“Failure is the pathway to success”. This is one of the many inspirational things that our amazing coach, Stephen Wright, has told us. He also told us to fail spectacularly because by failing you learn how to succeed. This is one of the biggest ideas at Keeners and so we have a day entirely dedicated to failure, Big Water Beatdown Bacon Thursday. Over the course of the day we throw ourselves into massive water and try to get destroyed as spectacularly as possible. This may seem like a really good way to get hurt but it actually teaches you a lot. When you fail you then have to recover and look back and see why you failed. It's also kind of a competition and so it's a great way to connect with the other Keeners and you can look back and laugh at all of the horrendous battering you received. It also teaches you skills that you can use in the real world. Everyone fails all the time and you have to know how to own up to it and then fix your mistake and improve so that you don't make the same mistake again. These are all reasons why our awesome coaches throw us into these situations where we are destined to fail. Every single one of our failures leads us to being a winner, provides us something to laugh at, and creates connections that will last for a long time and around the world.
